When the Grace of the Spirit was richly

poured on Thy head, it made Thee a Herald of Peace. O Blessed One, being thus Illumined by the Light of Grace, Thou were counted worthy to write down in Thine own hand the Gospel for the Lovers of God, like Theophilos. Wisely Thou recorded the Divine Holy Secrets. Thy tongue thus became the Pen of a swift-writing Scribe, O Luke,

us the Faithful come together, and with songs, let us cry out to Luke, tht Mystical Preacher of the Word, using the words of David: Thy tongue became the Pen of Christ, the Swiftwriting Scribe. It made the faces of Gentiles beautiful, when they received Divine Knowledge. With Thy tongue Thou preached the Gospel. Thou wrote the Acts of Thy Fellow Apostles. Now, as Thou stand in the Presence of God, the Trinity, Intercede for our souls.

not our hearts burn within us while He spoke with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us? they arose that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the Eleven and those who were with them gathered together, saying: The Lord is Risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon! they related all the things that had happened along the road, and how He was known to them by the breaking of bread.
